Thanks so much, Karen! I think some of this applies to memoir writing, too, or at least to argument writing. If you don’t acknowledge any of the other side’s points of view, your argument is inherently weaker. Or at least that’s the theory. Sometimes, when I see the professional demonizing going on in the public sphere, I wonder if that’s truly the case.

I love the nuance vs propaganda argument; I do believe nuance is what can help people open their minds to consider another’s point of view. Hmmm. How can we get our politicians to buy Disorganize Me? lol. I’m not a fiction writer (as you know) but if I ever decide to cross that bridge, this is one essay I’ll keep nearby. In the meantime, I’ll share on social media for my fiction writer friends.
